Chapter 58: An Unexpected Meeting!

"Looks like we're taking this meeting pretty easily if this is what we're up against." A pretty girl with a water gun on her waist appeared on top of the window sill.

"I heard about how all your heavy hitters were gone this year, lucky for us, eh?" A boy wearing a monkey mask opened the door into the room they were in.

"Don't think your school can win this year's meeting, Lea! We still have..." Another pretty girl was about to gloat about something before taking in the injured state of Lea's face. "How did you...?" She couldn't believe it.

  Zoey kept quiet as she only really knew Alexander and Lindsay. So, if no one was talking directly to her, she wasn't going to speak up. Instead of focusing on unimportant matters, she thought back to her fight with Lea and began writing in her journal about her experience during and after the fight. She learned a few things that would be good to keep in mind in the future.

Cursed objects or Daemonic Tools can be alive and work together with their wielder.Comes at some sort of cost to use.Sanity is the cost for Lea. (Which is maybe why she tried to kill her from behind after their fight.)Still don't forgive that bitch just yet tho.

Combo Magji can be extended without having to hit someone else?

My combo magji worked a lot longer than I thought it would even though there were a bunch of times that I didn't hit Lea before it extended.

Always be careful against daemons or magjistars!

Learn what their magji is or knock them out before they can use it against you!

Don't forget the tongue daemon that almost killed you and Alexander's and Lindsay's increase in power the longer your fight went on!

Be quick. Be merciless. Be thorough. (Lea wasn't as finished as you thought she was remember?)

Types of Magji and shit!

There are some forms of magji that can work through a person's voice!

The basic magical elements like ice, fire, lightning, and shit.

Bodily types of magji like Tristian, Hedgehog Hair.He can control his hair through magic.

There are definitely others that can probably control the muscles in their body or bones or blood! Always be careful, dumbass!

  Just as Zoey was about to continue writing more notes, she felt someone flick her forehead like she was a child! Immediately, Zoey lost her temper as the body shape in front of her wasn't one she recognized. Her fist went soaring up like a rising dragon to the chin of the person in front of her. The mahna within her body responded to her like an eager child more than happy to please their mother. It flowed within her entire arm, increasing the strength of her muscles, bones, tendons, and all.

  Forehead Flicking Asshole easily caught her punch with just his index finger, "Heh. Looks like little Lindsay and Alex were right. You may be more special than you look." He smirked while looking down on her.

  Zoey frowned in confusion as she didn't feel herself being overpowered. It felt like her punch did land but the force of it didn't land? All the strength she used in that punch was gotten rid of somehow. Since the asshole didn't follow up after she tried knocking him through the roof, Zoey didn't continue to try and fight him. She silently placed this event away for revenge in the future.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"Who am I?" He grinned like he couldn't be happier that she didn't recognize who he was.

  Zoey took a quick glance at everyone else to see their reactions and realized the room became a lot bigger and messier. This clearly wasn't how it looked when she started writing in her journal. They also kept quiet and were looking at the adult with respect? Whatever it was, it meant that he was an important magjistar or a teacher to these guys. So, why the hell did this asshole flick her forehead? It's because she wasn't giving him any attention, wasn't it? Attention whore handsome bastard fuckhead.

  Then, he flicked her forehead again.

"I'm a person someone like you can't afford cursing in their head." He smirked as he used his palm to catch Zoey's surprise punch to the face.

"Zoey! Stop!" Alexander pleaded softly.

'I don't care how handsome and cool you are! I'm not gonna be bullied!' Alexander's words were thrown out as soon as they came.

  Zoey activated her combo magji and threw multiple punches at the asshole. Each one was caught by his index finger but little did he know, Zoey already knew that just punching him mindlessly wasn't going to lead anywhere. No, it was bait for her true strategy! He kept that annoying grin on his face as he yawned while taking her blows.

  Just as Zoey looked like she truly lost her temper, reason suddenly came back to her eyes. The punch she was in the middle of throwing suddenly halted as she opened up her fist and caught the asshole's face. She tried slamming the back of his head into the ground but for some reason, she couldn't make him move an inch... It happened again, when she was punching him, she felt no such resistance. Just that her punches did like zero damage when they were supposed to be doing two hundred or three hundred. But now, she clearly felt an overpowering force stopping her from moving him.

  It didn't just stop her from moving him. She was sent flying through the air entirely. Blown through the wall of the classroom, across the field where she fought Lea, and into the forest where she believed one of the competitions would take place. Along the way, Forehead Flicking Asshole didn't just let her fly through the air for the first time in peace. He appeared multiple times to kick at her while she was mid-air. Zoey tried her best to react and block the attacks to the best of her ability but she was really out of her league with this annoying dick.

  Out of the dozens of kicks, she could only block two at most. At least, that was all she could remember before slamming back first into a tree. Pain shot all over her body as her eyes caught him casually running toward her with that same stupid fucking smile on his face. With the combination of pain, anger, humiliation, and fury flowing through her mind and body, Zoey's concentration was brought to its utmost limit as she got back to her feet.

  Reality slowed to a crawl, Zoey's mahna excitedly flowed through her body, her foot rapidly tapped against the floor, and an indiscernible aura shrouded her body. Zoey couldn't believe that even with Focus activated, she still would barely be able to keep up with the asshole, but she didn't give up even after he landed a gut punch on her. She used all the strength in her body to hold onto his arm in union with her mahna to lift up his body to slam him into the ground.

  Just like before, she was met with a wall. No matter how much strength she put into trying to lift him or do anything but grab onto his arm, it just wouldn't work. So, she twisted his arm with a smile of her own. Zoey may have had blood running down her face and in a bunch of other places but she twisted as if her life was on the line. Then her hands were forcefully removed by magic or something before another punch sent her organs into a spiral, but she noticed a red mark on his arm before

"Fuck..." Zoey couldn't help but curse.

  Her vision was turning blurring and dark but she couldn't accept losing like this. She had to get him back for flicking her forehead... That mark on his arm was good but was that all she was really capable of...? As a final stand, Zoey struggled to bend her index finger into pressing against her thumb. It was impossible for her to see what kind of look he had on his face but she knew he was still smiling at her.

"Not in a million years." Zoey felt something strike the back of her neck and everything went dark.

______________________________________________

  Victor, stared in amazement at the girl introduced to him by Alexander and Lindsay. He tossed her over his shoulder and began walking back to the school. His initial impression of her wasn't anything great or grand. Her magji control was pitiful. Her magji power was insignificant compared to others her age. Only a few things about her caught his attention. Zoey's background, learned magji, and combat ability. Well, and her personality. It wasn't often that he got to meet someone that didn't know about him.

  S-Grade Magjistar Victor Khan. Commonly known as one of this generation's most powerful magjistars. Because of the temporary alliance of the three major magjistar factions Victor Khan wasn't allowed to be as unrestrained as he would like. But even with the temporary alliance doing their best to restrain him, if their most powerful members weren't around it was usually pointless trying to tell Victor what to do.

  As it was now with the Annual Meeting of Young Magjistars.

"What do you mean by 'delay the Annual Meeting'!?" Lucus Cook, the leader of the Learned Faction, slammed his fist on the desk, splitting it in half.

"You must be out of your mind Victor to request something like this ON THE DAY OF THE MEETING!" Jerome Kelly, the leader of the Connate Faction, shared Principal Cook's anger.

"Surely, Victor has a reasonable explanation for requesting something like this at a time like this. Before cursing and shouting at him, let's give him a chance to explain his request." Haven Bonner, the leader of the Mercenary Faction, gave a small smile as she gave the floor to Victor.

  Victor picked some earwax from out of his ear before telling it how it was, "I wanna train my new apprentice and then show her off. So delay the meeting by like a month or something. Thanks." Victor didn't give the bastards the opportunity to respond back as he soon disappeared from their sight with the unconscious girl over his shoulder.

"Victor Khan!!! You annoying brat! I can't wait for the day that you die!" Lucus Cook shouted into the air as the table was reduced to dust from his outburst.
